yea. so now i'm like stuck in the library agn. the librarian is on leave agn. looks like i've to bear with this for the coming 2 yrs. but let's pick up from where i left off last nite. went down to town to meet xl for dinner. meal was fantastic. i nearly teared when the xiao long bao went into my mouth. it was marvellous. but they gave us this ultra duper small table. meant for only 2 person. n also space for 2 main dishes and a side dish. but we ordered alot.
when we requested for a change of table.. the waitress jus said 'oh this is fine, i'll jus arrange it for you' in lousy chinese. she's from hong kong i guess. and she proceeded to pushing everything together in the middle of the table. it was so packed.. everytime i wanted to take food.. i had to try to avoid dropping juice or sauce or anything whatever else into my chinese tea. and the chinese tea she refilled for us, it was like only 1/5 of the cup!?!?!? i mean... yea.. saving water... but 1/5? i wun even mind 1/4 but 1/5 is jus way off my mark man.
bill asking time was quite an adventure. they somehow all went into stealth mode. it was hard for even the keenest of eyes to detect them. i did the wave in the air emphaticly with a big smile in the face thingy at least 3 times before anyone came to get the money. however the food was too good for me to complain about any of the above.
wanted to go get royce chocolate.. but the queue for it was like a hello kitty come back... i was really taken aback. why all of a sudden so many ppl buy my royce chocolate!? it was quite an obscure brand jus a few months ago. tink i'll go down agn today to get it. c
an really feel the christmasy mood last night. been quite awhile since i last went down to town. there was activities every where in town. and i do mean everywhere. there is this introducing christmas and it's history thing jus infront of taka. with funny ppl dressed up as ancient ppl.
they had all this super skinny ppl dressed up as gladiators.. u know as in russell crowe in gladiator and brad pitt in troy. (i've got the same initials as brad pitt 'bobby pua' B.P. cool) and there's this person dressed up as joseph i think, if my limited knowledge of the birth of christ is not wrong, and joseph looks like gandalf... totally wrong casting man...and i tot i saw a few aunties walking around dressed as milkmaids.. must haf been dreaming or something.
the big space in front of taka had this pasar malam thing. where all they sold were accesories for girls. and maybe those twirling neon lights christmas sticks. and also the famous 'take a photo with santa claus!' they had this girl, dressed in christmas suit.. and had ultra mini skirt taking photo with santa and the kids. i mean.. what in the world are the organisers thinking?! putting her there? who are they trying to attract? sex driven little boys?
and there was this poor girl.. she was posing with santa with that mega watt smile. and suddenly the emcee went 'erm.. who's taking the photo for this girl?' the direction tat she was smiling at had no cameras pointing at her at all. maybe she's just contented to be able to smile beside santa.
over at the big space behind orchard mrt was the pasar malam. don't feel like saying anything much abt it. i just went in and came out. yea...
incident when i was going home. the train approached dhouby ghaut mrt. then i did the move where u take a step forward to prepare for the opening door.. the person inside the train did the same thing as me too. and then the door did not open. hmmm.. i was staring at him and he was staring at me. if not for the glass panel. i bet we can hear each other breathing.. the door still did not open. i tried to shuffle my eyes around cos he had this weird mole on the side of his nose which looks kinda disgusting. and i dint wan to fix my sight on him.
the door still did not open. grumblings and mumblings can be heard not. tired workers who just wants to go home. and i'm among them. just tat i will sound stupid mumbling and grumbling to myself. the door still did not open. he was standing there shuffling his feet ard. like a tiger preparing to be unleashed. the doors finally opened! his reaction time was like 0.1s. zoom. he glided pass me and i could smell his body odour lingering ard after he zoomed passed me. woke me up abit. so i boared the train.
the door did not close. i was thinking this was gonna be a ultra nightmarish journey home.. hate nightmarish journeys home. nightmarish journeys home alone are still fine.... but its the worst when u're travelling back with a fren tat u know.. but u got nothing much to talk about. sometimes its the obligation to start talking. and its the stupidest of topics.
me : so u were from 'abc' sec sch rite?
other : yea
-=silence=-
me : oh ok.
-=silence till i find the nxt topic=-
hate it when tat happens.. i would rather enjoy my own peace and quiet then stress about the person beside you. sometimes you'll also think if that person actually gives a shit about you... the doors closed after more mumblings and grumblings heard. guess the ppl actually willed the door to be closed.
reached home. had a gd day especially in the closing stages. the photos i took last week was so nice! loved it! will post it as soon as i get down to doing it.
